Re: 2008 Toyota Camry LE 4 cyl (vibration at 40-43MPH) [motownusa] by kiawah

My first thought when I read the original post was similar, how could he have spent 30K for an LE. Then I realized, that's not the point.......it shouldn't happen with a 25K car, or a 20K car, or a 15K car, or a 10K car.
 
If he owes more on his vehicle, than the vehicle is worth...he is 'upside down' with the car. In order to trade it in, he has to pay off the difference. Sounds like he rolled this negative equity on the first vehicle, with the new vehicle, into a larger loan.

Thank you! Exactly, I said I had a trade in. Yes I went upside down on it because the 06 mustang I had was a POS also, rattley dash and such. But that is nobody elses business, so I wasn't gonna go there. Oh, also, I am a "her" not a him. I guess nobody is gonna help me with this transmission vibration, everybody just wants to talk about my 30K loan for this car that I am accused of pretending to have.

I was wondering what makes this situation "potentially dangerous"? I am trying to write a notification letter to Toyota and to my dealership where I purchased my 08 Camry LE from that vibrates and I need to proove that it is a safety issue.
 
Thank you

The engine is lugging, it is in too high a gear, at too low a speed, where the engine doesn't have enough Horsepower and torque to drive the car. You can avoid the situation, by either pressing the accelerator down more (causing it to downshift and accelerate), or to move the gear selector to '4', as opposed to 'D'. Putting it in D, allows it to also go into overdrive lockup....which you are trying to avoid.
 
I first noticed this problem on ours, when my daughter was driving, as she is a lot lighter on the gas that I. She just normally uses '4' around the city, and then if she gets on the interstate moves it to 'D'. Works fine for me in D, but I'm winding out the gears further.
 
You may also try to change where you get fuel, to see if that makes any difference.

2008 Camry Seat Feels Loose by barkins

Anyone else have this problem. It seems every time I break hard or accelerate quickly, the seat jolts a bit forward and backward.
 
I'm thinking about taking it in, but I've never had any luck with a Toyota dealership actually helping me. It seems they all say same thing, "it's suppose to do that." Go figure.

the passenger seat back in my Camry ratlles and vibrates when nobody sits in it, I find it annoying, but have done nothing about it yet

You have a tire out of balance. Go get your tires re-balanced, and rotated to other positions.
